I saw a drunk guy jump out of the right field stands at Petco Park (a pretty big drop) then slide headfirst into second base from the wrong direction before being tackled and arrested and led off the field to riotous cheering. Never seen that happen before because they never show it on TV

Wating in line for game five of the 1995 World Series were two guys ahead of us who were trying to get in with game three tickets. They thought game three meant the third game played at Jacobs Field.

A guy fell over the railing at a Yankee game from the loge level onto the netting. They had to scoop him out and I'm sure he was pretty embarrassed.

Try and top that one boys.

I saw an Islander fan getting his jersey ripped off and burned in the Blue seats in front of his girlfriend too.

Really?

Funniest thing I ever saw was Jeff Weaver sail one to Alex Gonzalez in the bottom of the 12th Inning in Game 4 of the 2003 Series, and A-Gon scorching a liner over the left field fence and 65,934 Marlins fans going nuts.

I'm sorry, I mean....Kumbaya, my lord.... :)

At the old ballpark in Arlington some years ago, I saw a big family group heading to their seats accompanied by a very sexy and scantily dressed young lady, and wondered what was going on.
In the 2nd inning, the young lady stood up, stripped to a tiny bikini, and started dancing for the dad...it was his birthday treat. All the men in the crowd started cheering with all their might.
Security rushed in, made the dancer put her little outfit back on, and escorted her out...to the scariest and angriest round of booing I've ever heard.

Same ballpark, same timeframe...we're sitting a few rows behind third base, with a woman wearing a glove and paying zero attention to the game right in front of us. At one point, the Rangers were throwing the ball around the infield, and it got by Beuchele and rolled to the wall. At what must have been the first time she actually looked at the field, the woman saw the ball, screamed, "OOOOHHHH! A BALL!!!!", ran over, bent over the wall, picked it up, and headed back to her seat.
Beuchele stood and stared at her for a good twenty seconds. I couldn't tell if he wanted to smack her one, or just couldn't believe how stupid she was.
Security came over to throw her out, and she told them that she had no idea how the game was played and that she couldn't take a ball off the field...she was nearly in tears, but her friends were still laughing at her. Security let her stay when she promised to not approach the wall again.

Wrigley Field, early '90s. I went to the game alone on a cold April day, and scored a single box seat ticket about 10 rows back between home and 3rd. I am surrounded by wealthy looking people, including a woman next to me in a gorgeous fur who told me that Ryne Sandberg's wife was SO nice (the one he divorced not long after) and that she'd had Harry Caray over for dinner.
Around the sixth inning, two men about 50-60 who are very drunk and vulgar show up and sit right behind me...they had been drinking across the street. Their conversation takes place about about 140dB, I think they were both hard of hearing. Their talk turns to a Vegas trip, and the guy had a great time...the best part was the girls at the Crazy Horse, because, "FOR $35, YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT BACK AND...". I have to leave the rest of that sentence for you to fill in with your imagination, but it was EXTREMELY explicit.
I was completely stunned. I glanced at the fur lady next to me, and she was staring straight ahead with her jaw hanging open. A woman with a couple of kids in the row in front of me turned around, started clapping, and said, "Thanks so much for sharing that with all of us at the ballpark!!"
The big mouth yells, "OH MY GOD!!! I'M SORRY!!! I FORGOT WHERE I WAS!!!" He stays for about one more inning, tells his buddy that it's too cold and they should go back to the bar, and they're gone.
But they did leave some wonderful memories behind.

I also really enjoyed sitting in the bleachers at Yankee and listening to one of the cheering squads every time Posada was up..."ge-JOR, ge-JOR, ge-JOR!!!"
Think about how his name is pronounced, reverse the syllables, and scream it as loud as you can!!

a lot of these arn't funny they're quite sad! Could you imagine if that was you payin' all that money for game 3 and mistaking it with game 5?! The sad thing there is I can imagine making the mistake. I can't tell you how many times I checked my tickets for the '06 WS and it was horrible weather for games 1 and 2 so I was worried about rain outs and what that meant for my tickets. My first reaction to that mistake would be to prolly throw up.

That said. I went to a Peoria Riverman game (hockey) a number of years ago and there was this woman with a very small baby directly behind the goal about 10-15 rows up. My group was first enraged that someone would have a child that small in that area (this was before nets) and secondly she appeared to pay absolutely no attention to the game. Well, someone from her group returned with trays of beer and she handed the infant off to someone so she could hold a beer in each hand (I think she was holding her husband's for a minute while they situated). Well, just then it happened. A puck missed horribly high and hit the woman square in face. All you saw was it hit her and the resulting explosion of beer and blood. Instead of sympathy, everyone in the section took this moment to begin berating her on the stupidity of having a child that small in that section of seats......

Yankees and Red Sox fans really need each other - it's a co-dependancy that's rather homoerotic.

funniest thing i ever saw was pedro throwing don zimmer to the floor effortlessly.. and my mom saying why's that old man wearing a construction helmet...

I don't know how it was in 1995, but these days, tickets for Division Series and League Championship Series games do refer to "home game 1," "home game 2," &c.

So today, in 2008, had EdTarbusz been talking about a preliminary post-season game, the tickets he referred to would have meant the third game played at Jacobs Field, not Game 3 of the DS or LCS.

In 1987 , I took my new wife to her first ever NHL game in Vancouver (Canucks Vs Islanders). As was usually the case in those days NY was thumping the Canucks 5-1 after 2 periods. Before the start of the 3rd period my new bride announced that she wanted french fries, "could we please go get them?" . We left our seats in the nosebleeds of the Pacific Coliseum, while we were working our way through the crowded lobby I bumped into this dude who looked like Mr Clean, knocking his two beers out of his hand. Realising quickly that he could kick the living "you know what" out of me( I'm a big guy at 6' 2", but he was massive!), I quickly gave him $5 dollars (yes FIVE) for two beers. He snatched the money out of my hand and just stood their glaring at me, I again apologized to him and left thinking it was over.

When in the concession line up , my new wife told me that had better leave
because not only had Mr Clean not moved in the three minutes since I bumped into him, it looked like his girlfriend and two buddies were trying to stop him from taking a swing at me. We went back to our seats the long(and admittedly safer) route .

About 12 months later, I'm again at a Canucks NHL game, this time sitting in my bosses seats ( lower level, 5 rows from the ice) . during the game the fans starting to get a little upset with the referees and started throwing debris towards the ice. It was at this moment that somebody from the upper
deck threw a massive (mostly full) cup of orange pop, the lid came off and the pop landed on a guy in the section beside mine. He was wearing a white T-Shirt..you got it! It was the SAME guy who almost punched me the year before. He was hysterical running up and down the stairs looking for the guy who threw the soda..he had to be restrained(ultimately removed) by security. I howled for 20 minutes. That was THE best ever!

^Mr. Clean getting doused from the upper deck was great. Sounds like karma to me.

Speaking of getting doused, I was at a Yanks-Blue Jays game in August 2006 with my brother. We were all standing for a ceremony to honor some returning troops. When it came time to cheer, my smart brother thought he'd join in the applause with a 20oz beer in his hand. The entire contents ended up on the guy sitting in the row in front of us. He was annoyed at first, but was cool about it and joked "at least my wife will know I was at Yankee Stadium". The fact that it was a 100 degree day in NYC didn't hurt.

Below is photographic evidence of the soaked green shirt (I hope it's nobody on this board:crossfingers:)

................that and....................

....................I went to a Yankees/Red Sox playoff game once at Yankee Stadium. And I was sitting in the bleachers, and people stole red sox fans hats and set them on fire, and they stole their jerseys and set them on fire, and the red sox fans were telling the cops to do something, but the cops were laughing at them. THAT was funny. And once I saw a squirrell on the field at Yankee Stadium. I think I was in 2nd grade, and it was at night.

Friday night at Shea at the 3-0 Phils debacle...RF field level, guy falls asleep so soundly that his buddy (?) starts piling and balancing stuff on his head - first a pizza box, then a cardboard multi-cup holder on top, then above that an empty plastic bottle with a napkin inside sticking way up just like a Molotov cocktail! Slowly everyone took notice while this was going on, but the best part was he was so zonked out that when the sculpture on his head was complete, everyone began coming over and getting their picture taken with him - kids, moms, you name it. After about 10 photos he started to stir, so everyone backed off and just watched him wake up - and I can just imagine what he was thinking when about 50 people on all sides facing away from the field were staring directly at him and gave him a standing ovation as his eyes opened! His reaction was to slowly stand up and raise his arms like a messiah, drinking in all the applause. Of course I did not have a camera with me, but was definitely the most excitement of that night...

Another night in the '80's at Shea, afternoon game, me and a good buddy went with a third acquaintance who was actually somewhat annoying - anyway, long game, Mets are getting killed, third guy is off somewhere, me and my buddy, very bored, decide to rip pages out of the program and drop them down to the level below (had good first row UD seats) - after a couple minutes, security taps us on the shoulder and tells us it's time to leave - ejected!!! Anyway, we were escorted all the way down, and out of the nearest gate - but while we strolled alone outside past the next gate, noticed it was pretty much unattended (those were the days) - long story short, we entered the next gate, walked right up onto the field level and had great seats the rest of the night, all the while looking to the UD where that third guy (pre-cell phones) wondered for hours where the hell we went the rest of the game!

Same good buddy, NL East clincher 1986 - almost the last out, time to run down from the top and get to the loge where everyone was jumping through to the field seats where the two sections are close together, to eventually get onto the field. So while we're running down the outer ramps at breakneck speed with everyone, my buddy's glasses (he's blind without them) get knocked clear off his head, spin towards the edge and fall over the inner side of the ramp we're on. My buddy's flipping out, but the Mets Magic was in full force - we ran to the ramp and looked down (him not so clearly) as his glasses fell towards the ramp below and caught a spot between a pillar and the ramp wall - a perfect landing. We continued to run down, grabbed the glasses and did get on the field, the last time ever allowed at Shea. Of course, I didn't have as much magic as my friend did - in making the big final jump onto the field my camera fell out of my pocket and broke on the Shea turf - no photos of the historic night! Still have my Shea grass though!

Funniest thing I ever saw at a ball game was sometime in the 80's or early 90's in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. I don't remember it well, because I was young then, but it was bat day. This guy had had way to much to drink and was going up and down the aisle with his bat and smile, whacking people in the head as hard as he could. He got like three people before security came and rolled him down the nose bleed stairs. He got back up though, and went at them and they rolled him down again. He finally gave up and they hauled him off.

Ahhhh...baseball.... :rolleyes:

Not the funniest thing I ever saw at a ballpark, but one of the funniest things I ever heard;

I think it was in 1991, and I was in the Upper Deck of Memorial Stadium with my dad watching the O's play the Red Sox.

Jack Clark came up to bat, and I heard an Orioles fan shout out, "You stink, Jack Clark! You stunk for the Giants, you stunk for the Yankees, you stunk for the Padres, and you stink for the Red Sox!"

Five seconds pass with nothing, and then I hear a somewhat more faint voice from a Red Sox fan:

"But he was decent with the Cardinals!"

Ahh, you had to have been there. :)

How about the Yanks honoring the Army's 200th anniversary at Shea in 1975..The Army's color guard fired their howitser and the concussion from the blast blew down the fence. Stadium personnel then had to quickly repair the wall for the game to start.

Funniest thing I've ever seen occurred at a Xavier basketball game last season.

I think it was the 12 minute TV timeout in the second half, when there was an elbow called on a Duquesne player. Pretty standard stuff, but as the teams go to their benches and the ref goes to the scorer's table to give the foul, the player the foul was called on walks behind the ref as he's throwing an elbow for the foul. The ref catches the guy right in the face and knocks him out cold, the guy ended up being OK, but for the life of me (and about 1/2 of the arena) I couldn't stop laughing.
